ORLANDO - The Dolphins, absent from prime-time games last season, will kick off the 2006 regular season with a Thursday night game against the defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers, according to an NFL source.
The league is scheduled to announce today that Miami will travel to Pittsburgh for the inaugural game of the NFL season -- one which is televised nationally on prime time and features national recording artists playing before the game and during halftime.
The game will be played Sept. 7, and the remainder of the NFL regular season will begin Sept. 10.
The Dolphins were picked for the game, in part, because they finished the 2005 season with six victories in a row, and coach Nick Saban has improved the team, at least on paper, with the addition of several players, most notably quarterback Daunte Culpepper.

Im so glad, last year we could not get a primetime game to save our lives.
